Philadelphia star Ben Simmons is expected to miss the next three games, after suffering a shoulder injury in his side’s loss to Utah.
The Aussie has a Grade 1 AC joint sprain in his right shoulder, according to Yahoo Sports’ Chris Haynes.
Simmons has struggled on the offensive end to start the NBA season, scoring six points against Phoenix from 36 minutes on Tuesday.
The 23-year-old suffered the injury early in the Utah game, clutching at his shoulder when posting up in the first quarter.
The 76ers have played seven games and sit at 5-2, fourth in the Eastern Conference.
